Seems like over notifying makes the warnings useless. Kind of like when they classify the drunk guy who pees in a park (or the 18 year old with a 16 year old girlfriend) on the same sex offender list as a sadistic serial rapist

The State of California likely causes cancer by its "Boy Who Cried Wolf" stance. Their "standard of proof" is extremely flimsy. If it's not proven to cure cancer, then it causes cancer. Everything has warnings, and all but the paranoid ignore. If smoking and a shake of pepper on your food both cause cancer, you may as well smoke (and die).

California requires that everything that contains 0.5 microgram of lead to carry the warning. It's far, far below the FDA limits. According to the website, pretty much everything that's grown in the soil has that.

I'm reading a long article about the history of leaded gasoline. The companies knew that it was toxic and would have long-term environmental effects. But they fought to suppress that information. And people like Kettering, Sloan, and du Pont got very, very rich.
